Questions from Huddersfield
Do contemporary lanterns cost more?
Usually a little more per size than a standard range, because the bigger glass units cost more to make and handle.
Is a contemporary lantern the same as a flat rooflight?
No. A contemporary lantern still has sloping glass and a ridge or apex; it simply has slimmer frames and fewer bars. A flat rooflight is a single, nearly flat pane of glass on an upstand.
Is it worth having solar-control glass in Huddersfield?
With the midsummer sun about 59.8° high at noon, roof glass in Huddersfield gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
